About Us

As we’ve said in our communications throughout this week, thank you for your support and the effort you have made in keeping students connected through four days of online learning.

While we know everyone would prefer to be in school, we had to close our campus to all except for critical staff to ensure the repair work could be safely completed.

We have now removed a number of deflated pillows from the front of the roof area. Work will continue over the weekend to reinforce areas near the damage. As you can see, from the image below, this involves heavy machinery and cordoned-off spaces.

As this work wraps up, we will have a site visit from a structural engineer who will check other areas of the roof and sign off on our safe reopening. Assuming the checks all result in positive outcomes, we look forward to opening our doors again on Monday.

Thank you to the parents who have reached out with questions about whether we will adjust our calendar for the upcoming CPD days. We know many of you have scheduled family travel plans around our published calendar, and unfortunately, we are too close to the dates to be able to make changes to the scheduled programmes for the two October CPD days. However, you have likely seen the message from ESF CEO, Belinda Greer, which shares that discussions are taking place across ESF about whether any changes might be reasonably made to the calendar later in the academic year. We will, of course, update you as soon as possible if any decisions are made.

We hope that everyone has a restful weekend and that you are able to enjoy some sunny weather for a change! We look forward to welcoming you back into school on Monday.

We were delighted to host over 130 esteemed Higher Education institutions from across the globe at our University Fair on Monday. Students from DC, as well as neighboring schools DBIS and YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College, seized the valuable opportunity to explore their future options and engage with representatives from a diverse range of institutions from Cambridge Melbourne, and most places in between. The feedback from university representatives was that our students, from Years 10 to 13, are ambitious and enthusiastic in finding out about the next steps in their educational journey.

 A special thank you goes out to our exceptional Higher Eduction Students Ambassadors whose efforts ensured a seamless and successful event and who were another shining example of student leadership in action on the campus.

On 17 September, the DC Theatre was buzzing with incredible talent during our lunchtime production of VOICEDC.

Led by our brilliant Student VOICEDC team: Brianna, Kaylee, Alisia, Stephanie, William, and Jenna, and inspired by 'The Voice', this event showcased our amazing student musicians, singers, and talents in DC. 

From the powerful performances to the electric atmosphere, the event was a resounding success! The team is immensely grateful to the dedicated crew of Mr. Davis, Ms. Wong, and Mr. Tadeo, for their masterful work on lights and sound, and to their supervisor, Ms. Garnett, for her unwavering support.

A special thank you to all the performers and to everyone who showed up to support and cheer. We are grateful for your support.
